  • Patent number: 8482074
    Abstract: A formation method of an element isolation film according to which a high-voltage transistor with an excellent characteristic can be formed is provided. On a substrate, a gate oxide film is previously formed. A CMP stopper film is formed thereon, and thereafter, a gate oxide film and a CMP stopper film are etched. The semiconductor substrate is etched to form a trench. Further, before the trench is filled with a field insulating film, a liner insulating film is formed at a trench interior wall, and a concave portion at the side surface of the gate oxide film under the CMP stopper film is filled with the liner insulating film. In this manner, formation of void in the element isolation film laterally positioned with respect to the gate oxide film can be prevented.

  • Publication number: 20060011975
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of: (a) forming a body portion of a DMOS by implanting impurity ions of a second conductive type into a predetermined region of a well of a first conductive type that has been formed in a main surface of a semiconductor substrate a plurality of times while changing an implantation amount or an implantation energy or both of them; (b) forming a gate dielectric film on the semiconductor substrate in a gate electrode formation region at least within the well, followed by a gate electrode on the gate dielectric film so as to cross an end of the body portion; (c) forming diffusion layers of the first conductive type on both sides of the gate electrode by implanting impurity ions of the first conductive type (provided that at least one of the diffusion layers is formed within the body portion); and (d) forming a contact layer of the second conductive type by implanting impurities of the second conductive type into the body portion with a impuri
